Let's Can Her!

I am often surprised by the thoughtfulness and selflessness of people. I have been able to take a front-row seat for some of these actions. Today was one of those days. As you know, this is Hunger Action Month and we have been encouraging everyone in the community to "Give a Little, Feed a Lot". Whether it is by advocating for the hungry or volunteering thier time, we've seen people come together this month with one goal: feeding the hungry with food and hope.  

Here is one example of how people in Lubbock are helping thier neighbors! A local doctor, Dr. Snodgrass, requested that people bring food, to donate to the SPFB, in lieu of a birthday present. They posted flyers and placed boxes in the breakroom of the office to be collected until her birthday on Sept 3rd. The theme was "Let's Can Her" - how fun and how selfless! Birthday's are generally the time of year that we focus on ourselves. After all, we are celebrating our birth. Dr. Snodgrass took this once a year opportunity and looked outside herself. She decided to do somthing that would bless others. What a gift. Thank you Dr. Snodgrass!
